Are you sure that the file in SysWOW64 is a 64-bit binary? On Win64, system32 contains the 64-bit DLLs, and SysWOW64 contains the 32-bit DLLs:

Indeed, on my system, it's exactly reversed to what Christian reports.

I'm closing this report as invalid: I can't see a problem in Keith original message. *Of course* the x86 installer won't install to system32 on a Win64 system; this is correct behavior. Of course, the 64-bit installer should install to system32, this is what it should do. It should *not* install to SysWOW64.
